Group Day Habilitation

Prospect Child & Family Center began its first Day Habilitation program in September 2005 called Club Prospect.  OPTS (Options for People Through Services) is funded through OPWDD of New York State and encourages service providers to plan innovative programs for individuals with developmental disabilities to allow for creativity, flexibility and individuality.  Its vision is to develop a highly individualized, consumer-driven health care delivery program that meets the needs of individuals who have mental retardation and developmental disabilities and their families.  “And their families” is the key to this program.  The four men in this program have families that had been searching for the right program that would meet the needs of their child on a continual basis.  When OPTS opened, there were no other programs in the State like it.

Residential Living

To meet the needs of individuals who express an interest to live more independently in the community, Prospect Child & Family Center provides Individualized Residential Alternatives (IRAs) or group homes. These homes are staffed on a 24-hour basis by trained individuals who provide rehabilitative and supervisory services to residents in a warm, home-like setting.
